From legendary link-ups to the new guards of R&B, here is what’s soundtracking our world right now.
Goodbye Henry. — RAYE, Al Green
When a modern powerhouse meets a soul architect like Al Green, magic is inevitable. This track is a lush, emotional journey that bridges the gap between generations of rhythm and blues.
Just A Girl — Justine Skye
Justine Skye is in top form here, leaning into a sound that is as effortless as it is ethereal from her new EP, CANDY. It’s the kind of track that reinforces her status as an Pop “it-girl.”
Lose Control — Yeat, Elton John
In perhaps the most unexpected pairing of the year, the experimental energy of Yeat meets the legendary stature of Elton John. It’s a chaotic, fascinating collision that somehow works perfectly.
JET LAGGED — Lava La Rue, Foster The People
A psychedelic, alt-pop dream. Lava La Rue and Foster The People create a hazy, atmospheric soundscape that is tailor-made for late-night drives and artistic contemplation.
Light By The Window — Elmiene, Raphael Saadiq
Pure musicality his latest offering songs for someone is. With Saadiq’s golden touch on production and Elmiene’s soaring, timeless vocals, this track feels like an instant classic in the singer-songwriter canon.
Business & Personal (Intro) — Latto
Latto sets the tone for her latest era with a confident, high-stakes intro. It’s a lesson in flow that reminds the industry why she’s a mainstay on the Hot 100.
Beat Yourself Up — Charlie Puth
Puth continues to prove he’s a pop architect. This track delivers the surgical production and infectious hooks that have become his signature, geared perfectly for heavy radio rotation with new album Whatever’s Clever.
